Martin Luther Part 2

10/20/20 • 41 min

In the second part of this series, Pastor Dan Smail and Wendy Farone discuss even more about the critical contribution of Martin's interaction with the Roman Empire and his impact on our beliefs and practices as Lutherans. We talk about the backstory of his final years and the human side of Luther as he and his wife, Katie, serve others. On the lighter side, we discuss "What's up with that hair?" or the tonsure style of haircut common within Luther's order.
